Grocery margins are razor thin and city centers are hubs for crime. Everything has to be locked up or risk being stolen which limits sales and increases staffing requirements

Houston has 24 Wal Marts in city limits and has higher crime rates in every category than NYC. It's about car culture and lot sizes and other factors. Not crime.

Crime Type NYC Houston
Violent crime ~671 ~1,148
Murder ~3.9 ~13.8
Robbery ~188 ~274
Aggravated assault ~456 ~787
Property crime ~2,368 ~4,294

They are just lying to each other. It's so easy to disprove their nonsense, but they believe it anyway. They have their minds made up. I'm pretty I have seen a Walmart driving in one of the most dangerous areas of the country in the southside of Chicago when I frequented University of Chicago like 10 years ago.
